I have to pre-order this book from TIMES the bookstore a week ago, due to their lack of stocks in thier Tampines branch. Collected it last Friday, and voila!.

This book is abt a 16 yo Amal, an Australian-Palestinian who somehow struggles to don the hijab "full time" while juggling btwn BGR and other teenagers issues and racism. Im unable to give the full review of the book , as im only in chapter 5..nonetheless, im liking it thou.

A little snippets ..."What's my class going to say on Monday when i walk in wearing the Muslim veil for the first time? Oh boy, will there freak out. Shawling up? In fron of the kids of Year Eleven? It would be easier to walk naked?"
